↑This is the corrected date. The original date gave a year of 1863. Other sources, including another reference in this very book and the prefatory remarks to this speech, indicate the "Reconciliation by Emancipation" speech was delivered on March 6, 1862. It also appeared as a pamphlet published by G. P. Putnam in 1862 under the title "The life of slavery, or the life of the nation?"

↑The text for this speech came from a printed flyer rather than the book. The format of the flyer is preserved. Carl Schurz's comments for the speech were:

This speech was delivered in the Presidential campaign of 1864, at the firstof a series of meetings arranged by the Union League of Philadelphia.The topics discussed are still fresh in the memory of the people,and need no further explanation.

The text for some of these speeches can also be found in Frederic Bancroft, ed., Speeches, Correspondence and Political Papers of Carl Schurz, Volume I, New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1913. Facsimile at archive.org
